1) |
Before you insert the tape - whether
it's brand new or partially used - look at the
side of the cassette and be sure the tape extends
out to the end of the cassette and under the
hold-down bar. (See TC tape below) |
2) |
Be sure to wind the ink ribbon hole a couple of turns with your finger in the
direction of the arrow on the cassette. (See
TX tape below.) This takes up the slack from
shipping or partial use. Do this before you put
in any tape - new or used. |
3) |
Be sure when you place the cassette
in the labeler, that none of the ink ribbon bunches
up as you snap it in place. It has to go
straight down into the machine. If it does bunch up, take
it back out and repeat step 2. |
4) |
Before you key in your first label,
press "code + feed" to make sure everything's
feeding right. |
5) |
Never pull on the tape! If your
"tape advance" feature is turned OFF, you can
press "code + feed" to advance the tape so that
your label comes all the way out beyond the cutter.
Pulling on the tape can cause ink ribbon to stick
to the adhesive backing at the hold-down bar
and get all stuck up. What a mess! (See Lab Testers
above!) |
6) |
If all else fails, call the
friendly staff at ProTag. We can help you over the phone
if you're handy, or give you instructions for
repairs. |
